Then if your list is completely inaccurate and Palin isn't at all delusional, you'll have what you want. How devilish! Or, no. Are you going to tell me that's not what you meant, obviously? Aha! By your own standard, you are a liar. Oh, but that's not really your definition of a liar, that's just a standard to be applied to Sarah Palin? Ah, well, then you are a hypocrite. Which is it?

You can be a non-Palin fan, you can even actively be scared of what Palin represents, and you should still find the behavior of the media to be disgusting.

Well I for one won't be sated until I see some sort of fatality come out of this. Not suicide suicide, just the career suicide sort. I mean the Coliseum is full, attention is riveted, I want to see the ink flow like blood.

The supposedly impirical list of Palin's lies is the weakest kind of one quarter truths. Whenever I see such coming from opposition it is comforting, because they would have used the real dirt if they had any. Since that Drivel is all they came up with Andrew has confirmed Palin's character by showing that an opponent who examines Palin's flaws will come up empty.

How much of Sully's shtick is driven by a mental disorder and how much is driven by a desperate need to get in the good graces of his favorite reader, BHO? Someone else posted this before and it sounds a bit off-the-wall but plausible - Sullivan's visa expires in 2011 and because he's HIV positive and is unwilling to marry a woman, he cannot apply for permanent residency or citizenship but he could get a reprieve from the very top.

Just two of the many idiocies available at Andrew Sullivan's Target-Rich Environment:

"Palin lied when she announced on the news that she never holds closed-door meetings; in fact, she had just attended a closed-door meeting with the legislature earlier that day."

This fool doesn't understand the difference between "holding" a meeting and "attending" a meeting. Or else SULLY'S A LIAR!1!!

"Palin lied when she said that former aide John Bitney's "amicable" departure was for "personal" reasons; in fact, Bitney said he was fired because of his relationship with the wife of Palin's friend...."

So either Sully doesn't think that a "relationship" with someone's wife is "personal" or else HE'S A LIAR!!11!!

If this guy's nickname weren't already "sully," it would be necessary to make it so.

Sully has said the following on his blog just this past summer under a posting about gay couples who have US immigration problems: Mine ends for good (no more waivers possible) in March 2011. Tick, tock.

So, the question needs to be publicly asked, "Is Andrew Sullivan working under the belief that if he does the dirty work for the Democratic Party and his overlord, Barack Obama, he will be granted some sort of reprieve from immigration law?" Is there a quid pro quo at work here?

We can speculate all we want as to the why (and I suspect there is something really wrong with him that keeps him so obsessed) but absent a professional examination (and I am not a professional & I do not trust drive-by diagnoses) I will simply say he is crazy.

I can see the fascination with Palin. She is bright, provocative, chipper, assertive, good-looking, and comes across as someone you'd love to have with you on a hike, a bike ride, or just over for coffee.

But for the life of me - why the fascination with Sulllivan? He is dreary, pedantic, smug, and One-Note Johnny on SSM. I would dread to be stuck on the same bus with him for a 15 minute ride crosstown.

However, on the plus side, he's like Pavlov's dog w/r/t Palin. Just say "Palin" in his presence and watch him go crazy.

There isn't really any foundational truth in anything Palins says, so technically you're really not documenting lies. The bridge, the pipeline, the plane, the chef, and on and on and on. It's all a load of horseshit to begin with.

It is strange that a man who talks about a "conservatism of doubt", about how one must recognize the moral complexity of the world, can be so fanatically rigid. Once he makes his mind up - as we saw originally about Bush and Iraq - all who disagree must be destroyed.

Like Sullivan, 1jpb pretended that he was once a conservative. I bet he's the guy who writes those "email of the day" letters to Sullivan. You know, the ones that always start out: "I voted for every Republican candidate since Benjamin Harrison but I had to vote for Obama because he's the only honest conservative blah blah..."

Reading through the list and the way the individual items are worded, I began to wonder how long a list the sure-to-be-forthcoming Joe Biden version will be. After all, this is someone who is literally one heart-beat away from the Presidency.

wv: kerayshe - what other commenters are calling Sullivan, spoken with a lisp.

At least I don't claim that I'm voting for BHO because McCain wasn't a good conservative option. Doesn't Althouse say something along these lines?

And, I don't say "I voted out of contempt for the other candidates and as a protest against the incredibly distressing mob mentality exhibited by the citizens of my city. I was actually not going to vote for anyone on the Presidential/Vice-Presidential ticket but when I was in line at my polling place, someone laughingly said "we're racking up the votes for our man Barack!" and a few people cheered which irked me enough to pull the lever for the opposition ticket." So emotionally adrift, reacting instead of acting.

"Your obsessive need to defend Sarah Palin, no matter how bad she looks or how stupid she acts, used to baffle me."

Hahaha! AJD calls someone else obsessive! It used to baffle me why someone would spend years (literally!) posting the same basic nasty comment over and over again, using dozens of different aliases at a blog written by someone they claimed to hate. But now I get it: you're a fucking psycho.

For those who haven't been around here long, Floydster = AJD, an entity who has spent years posting the same personal insult kind of comment directed at Althouse, using dozens and dozens of different "screen names" that all link to the same "unavailable" Blogger profile, number 02407299546060974148. The comments are pretty easy to spot and are clearly all written by the same intellectually limited author. They all have a similar tone and are always directed at Althouse in a bitter, scorned-lover personal kind of way. It's a fun game to find them and comment on them!

I only point out AJD because most people aren't aware of the fact that you can easily change your Blogger screen name, so they're led to believe that the Althouse blog has dozens of different enemies rather than one obsessed loser. It's a little public service to the community, if you will.

You see, Sully is free to call Sarah Palin "delusional" without any clincial analysis at all!

I too am free to throw out a wild-hair opinion, and I have even less of a requirement to back it up than Sullivan does. You see how that works?

But if that is your standard, jeff, (I bet that's not even your real name!) then I will watch your posts carefully to make sure you substantiate each and every position you take, and it better have footnotes.

Althouse was fed the weakest Palin lie on Andrew's list by a commenter on a previous thread. It didn't surprise me that rather than address the fact that Palin lies all the time, she singled out the one weak item on Andrew's list of lies. Yes, that item does show that Andrew Sullivan is out to get Palin. But Althouse was out to pretend she doesn't notice the lies when she pretended she randomly clicked on that one Israeli flag item. One of her commenters (I know this because he posted it in reply to one of my posts) had used that same response to Sullivan's list of lies in a previous thread.

It's too bad Andrew Sullivan allows that weak item to stay on his list of lies, because lawyers like Althouse will use that as an excuse to overlook the mountains of evidence that Sarah Palin is a huge and weird liar.

"Pay no attention to Palladian. He is a troll. He was busy in the thread under the Bloggingheads episode spewing some bigotry about Michelle Goldberg being a "New York Jew".

And Michelle Goldberg was busy spewing some bigotry about Sarah Palin being a idiotic hick. Besides, Goldberg is a New York Jew. When did that factual assertion become "bigotry"? My New York Jew friends would like to know.

Hey, speaking of that idiotic hick Palin, I'd think her pussy would have done gnawed clean through your leg by now! Do you still pop a boner and have a simultaneous, involuntary bowel movement when you hear her name?

Speaking as a Gyno-American without a uterus as of June 12, 2009, how do we know that either Althouse or Palin still have a uterus at this point? Either one or both of these ladies coulda had a hysterectomy.
